      Re: Daring flight

      Any of you analyzed it yet ?

      Is it just a pilot error or is there a wind drift or such there ?

        I'd have no idea of *how* he got where he is but from the after action once he got the wire, it looks like he was way off center and the rest is the wire getting him *back* on center, violently.

        Did look like he took out the right gear.

        Landing on a carrier HAS to be about the hardest thing an aviator will ever do and think about how many hours those guys have the first time they have to do it.

        I don't think those hours number nearly into the thousands and if I'm not wrong, more toward the low 100's.

        All credit due to EVERY one of them, bad traps and all!
